OVER 50 BOOKS . . . AND STILL WAITING
FOR A PULITZER
Because he doesn’t golf, Bruce has a lot of free
time that other lawyers waste on the links. Over the past fifteen years, Bruce
has filled that time-void by writing more than 50 books. More than 3 million
copies of his books are in print, and several of his titles have achieved “bestseller”
status. He has even won a few international writing awards (but you’ll
have to go to Brazil to see them.)
Yikes! Bruce’s
Newest Release
Are you conversationally challenged? Do you freeze at the thought of making
small talk with people you don’t know? Bruce knows what you’re going
through because he’s been there himself. (In most social gatherings, you
could find Bruce hiding behind the potted ficus tree or pretending to be talking
on his cell phone.) Bruce shares his struggles and solutions in:
Yikes!
A Room Full of Strangers. How to have great conversations with anyone about almost anything . . . for fun and friendship (and then profit). |
Casual conversation is serious business, and you need to know how to turn strangers into friends. In this book, Bruce reveals both the art and science of mastering and profiting from small talk.
Bruce & Stan
Actually, it is a lie to say that Bruce has written 50 books. Except for Yikes!,
all of those books were written by Bruce and his writing partner, Stan Jantz.
So, Bruce has only written half of 50 books. It is an unusual writing arrangement.
They alternate writing every other word. This process is time consuming, but
this way they ensure that they make an equal contribution.
Perhaps you recognize them as the authors of “Bruce & Stan Search
for the Meaning of Life” which documents their 3-month road trip
across the United States (at the publisher’s expense), or “Survival
Handbook for Dads”, or their first book, “Laughables: A
Humorous Look at the Pressures, Predicaments and Pleasures of Being a Woman”.
(Bruce & Stan don’t suffer from gender confusion; they simply know
that 80% of book-buyers are women, and since Stan is a marketing genius, he
forced Bruce to write for the predominate demographic.)
Bruce & Stan have several rules for their writing projects: They want the
content of their books to be correct, clear and casual. They achieve that goal
by refusing to use any words that they can’t spell or pronounce. Consequently,
their books contain a lot of single-syllable words.
Not content with the written word, Bruce & Stan have ventured out onto the
airwaves. They began with a radio show that was heard weekly (and weakly) in
Central California. They then progressed to a weekly television show on a cable
network that was broadcast into every country of the world except China and
North Korea (which apparently have broadcast standards).
